Background: Due to the difficulty and complexity in managing warfarin, anticoagulation clinics must provide adequate patient education to ensure patient safety. Nevertheless, strategies to educate anticoagulation patients vary widely. We intend to describe the self-reported educational practices of anticoagulation clinics across the United States. Methods: A 31-question online survey was sent to all members of the Anticoagulation Forum, a network of healthcare providers who work in the field of thromboembolic disease. 264 unique clinics responded to the survey. Each reported question had at least 244 responses. Descriptive statistics are reported. Results: Most clinics provide general education through reading materials (92%) and in-person interactions (89%). Few clinics educate by means of video (27%), website (17%), and other methods (8%). Pharmacists (PharmDs) and nurses (RNs) combine to provide the majority (80%) of general anticoagulation education. 39% and 24% of clinics reported that PharmDs and RNs, respectively, provide almost all (>90%) of the general education. 36% and 24% of clinics reported that PharmDs and RNs, respectively, provide almost all (>90%) of the dietary education. 3.3% of all clinics reported that dieticians provides more than 30% of all dietary education. 90% of clinics use literature and 84% of clinics use personal teaching methods to educate their patients on diet. The provider is typically PharmDs and RNs, as they combine for 78% of all dietary education provided by the clinics. In addition to dietary education, 71% of clinics reported using dietary changes to control out-of-range INR values. Conclusion: This national survey illustrates the diversity in providers of patient education among anticoagulation clinics. Dietary education was only minimally provided by registered dieticians. Traditional materials are primarily used with few clinics utilizing web-based education. The majority of clinics reported using dietary changes in addition to warfarin dose changes to manage out-of-range INR values. Exploring these differing provider strategies and tools may be useful in developing a more structured and effective anticoagulation educational plan.

We conducted the first national survey of computing education at Japanese universities in 2016. In this paper, we report the survey result of the computing education at a department or a course majored in the computing discipline. The survey covers various aspects including program organization, quality and quantity of educational achievement, students, teaching staff and computing environment. Thus the survey result is expected to be a good fundamental to develop realistic computing curricula and accreditation criteria in Japan. The estimated number of computing departments and students in Japan is about 300 and 28,000 respectively. 50% of the students belong to engineering faculties. Although 25% of the students are learning Computer Science, 50% of the students are learning computing domains other than those defined in CC2005. The information processing society of Japan (IPSJ) and the Japanese Ministry of Education (MEXT) utilize the survey result to develop a new computing curriculum standard J17 and national policy of computing education respectively.

A national survey of elementary and secondary general education teachers ( N = 368, response rate of 52%) was conducted to determine the classroom grading practices of general education teachers, including grading adaptations for students with disabilities. Results of this self report survey indicated that teachers find letter and number grades more helpful for students without disabilities than for those with disabilities. Results also indicated that teachers find certain grading adaptations—such as pass-fail grades, portfolios, multiple grades, and grading for effort—helpful for students both with and without disabilities. Implications for training, research, and practice are included.

We conducted the first national survey of computing education at Japanese universities in 2016. In this paper, we report the survey result of the computing education to obtain high school teacher’s license on IT. The survey covers various aspects of computing education including program organization, quality and quantity of educational achievement, students, teaching staff and computing environment. We collected 338 answers through the survey which cover 65% of the departments having teacher’s license course on IT. Many of the responded departments also provide computing education majored in computing discipline. Although 5,006 students are enrolled in the computing education for the license, only 369 students obtain the license since very few are employed at a high school. Most of the teacher’s license holders on computing subject also obtain high school teacher’s license of other subject in order to get a job as a high school teacher.

We conducted the first nationwide survey of computing education at Japanese universities in 2016. In this paper, we report the survey result of informatics in general education for all students at a university or a faculty. The survey covers various aspects including program organization, quality and quantity of educational achievement, students, teaching staff and computing environment. 739 answers are collected from 530 universities in response to the survey. The answers cover 70.5% of the Japanese universities, and approximately 81.6% of the 649 universities that responded to the survey. The Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ) and the Japanese Ministry of Education (MEXT) will utilize the survey result to develop a new computing curriculum standard J17 and national policy of computing education respectively.

Abstract Answers to the questions of which instructional methods are suitable for school, what instructional methods should be applied in teaching individual subjects and how instructional methods support the act of learning represent challenges to general education and education in individual subjects. This article focuses on empirical examinations of instructional methods for computer science education supporting knowledge processes in the act of learning and their integration into the context of significant learning theories. The results of this article show that certain instructional methods are especially predestined for computer science education. They can also be attributed to behavioristic, cognitivist and constructivist learning theories; they are thereby localized and can profit from the empirical findings of the learning theories, especially in practical use on teaching computer science.

The objective of this study is to examine the social profile of students who are enrolled in Basic General Education in Ecuador. Both a descriptive and multidimensional statistical analysis was carried out based on the data provided by the National Survey of Employment, Unemployment and Underemployment in 2015. The descriptive analysis shows the frequency and percentages of variables used in the investigation, and the multidimensional statistical analysis demonstrates the principal and more important criteria of differentiation and classification among the clusters of students who were investigated. These methods involve factorial analysis of multiple correspondences which demonstrate criteria of differentiation and a hierarchical cluster analysis to define clusters of students according to their common traits.
